Some truths I realized with time...


Some truths I realized with time...
1. Writing, compiling and editing material for management textbooks is not as much fun as I had once imagined it to be. But there is nothing else I would rather do.
2. Everyone does not want to be happy: Many are not satisfied until they have something to crib and cry about.
3. The ones who are not comfortable with who they really are, are the ones who are constantly trying to change you.
4. Love is the factor that differentiates a "life" from mere "existence"
5. Soul mates do exist, in fact many of them.
6. Society is a necessary evil. (I always believed it was evil, but now I realize that its necessary as well.)
7. Platonic love is a real thing.
8. Loving your parents does not mean giving in to their unreasonable demands (Of course, they will try their best to brainwash you!)
9. Everyone does not want to be independent; many would gladly give up their freedom in return for some materialistic benefits.
10. Intuition is the only thing that guides you correctly. The heart (emotions) and brain (logic) often betray.
11. Happiness is not a "thing" u can possess, but simply a state of mind.
12. If something is meant to happen, it will. Fate is a big thing, irrespective of whether you believe in it not.
13. Just because a relationship has ended does not mean that it was never meaningful. And just because a relationship is meaningful does not mean it will never end.
14. Beware of people who have a weak intuition. If they cannot trust themselves, then how can you?
15. Just because you love someone does not mean that your views, opinions and ideologies will always be similar.
16. You cannot "respect" someone just because they are old. Does simply spending many-many years on this Earth make you honourable?
17. The character of a person is not dependent on his appearance, social status, education or occupation.
18. Money cannot buy you love, time, peace of mind or happiness. But you cannot even think about these things until you have enough money for food, clothes, house rent and bills.
19. There are times when you just need to let go of something you have been holding on to desperately—a meaningless relationship, an unfulfilled desire, a worthless job, out dated beliefs, etc.
20. Disillusionment hurts, but it also teaches you a lot.
21. If you are an idealist, don't ever try to get "realistic about life". It won't suit you, and you will end up feeling miserable.
22. If someone truly loves you, they will never ever try to manipulate you.
23. Everyone—a housewife, a clerk, a student, a CEO, a bank manager—irrespective of their incomes, has financial worries.
24. In human society the relationship between parents and their children is governed by social norms and not by nature (A very sad truth).
25. The only person you are answerable to is you. If you have a clear conscience, then others' views don't matter.
26. Times change. Situations change. People change. Relationships change.
27. No relationship can make you feel secure. Only love can.
28. When you are happy with the overall quality of your life, even routine life feels like fun.
